Materials Challenges for Sustainable Aerospace Propulsion AbstractAdvanced materials are an essential enabling technology for current and future aerospace propulsion systems. Enhancements in materials capability have underpinned the substantial improvements in gas turbine environmental performance seen over the last 50 years and will be critical to meeting future sustainability goals. This will be achieved through further advances in gas turbine performance and through enabling alternative aviation fuels and innovative propulsion technologies.The presentation will explore materials technology challenges for sustainable aerospace. Materials sustainability will be considered throughout the materials value chain and product lifecycle from raw materials production to in-service management end-of-life.SpeakerNeil is Senior Fellow for Materials Technology at Rolls-Royce, based in Derby. He is a Fellow and past-President of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.Neil has over 25 years experience of materials engineering for aerospace and other high integrity applications. His role addresses all aspects of materials technology for the Rolls-Royce business, with particular focus on materials technology to support new product opportunities, including hybrid electric and hydrogen powered flight. Previous roles have spanned multiple business sectors and materials engineering across the product life cycle.For many years Neil was responsible for Rolls-Royce's aerospace materials research portfolio, including the company's extensive external network for materials research.He is a regular speaker at national and international events and has been a member of numerous national advisory groups. He is a strong advocate of STEM education and a regular speaker at shools' events. Tags Chemical Engineering Materials and Processes Jan 31 2025 13.00 - 14.00 Materials Challenges for Sustainable Aerospace Propulsion Mr Neil Glover FREng (Head of Materials from Rolls-Royce) will give a talk with title of Materials Challenges for Sustainable Aerospace Propulsion.
